Otherwise, although it pains me greatly to say it, you are correct as to Bishop Jenky. He has always been very active in the pro-life cause, but when it mattered most, when his speaking out might have derailed yesterday's profanation of Notre Dame, Bishop Jenky was nowhere to be found.

Jenky was so outraged that Our Lady's name would be made a mascot. Yet the most powerful pro abortion politician on the planet wears Our Lady's name and is honored at Our Lady's University where Jenky is on the Board, yet he is silent as can be. Hey Jenky, why no public witness, outcry? Why no resignation from Our Lady's University that causes such a scandal, that hosts the Vagina Monologues and an annual Queer Festival? Frankly Bishop J., you are a hypocrite. Back in 93, Jenky protested, preached, publically condemned a tavern owner who was going to name a sports bar the Hail Mary.

I don't recall anyone in my family getting swine flu shots, because they thought the whole thing was a boondoggle. My exhaustive Web-based research (translation: a quick glance at a couple of Wikipedia and other articles) finds that U.S. deaths attributed to swine flu vaccine (25) far outnumbered confirmed U.S. deaths from swine flu itself (1). Still, public health researchers do regard the 1976 swine flu scare as a valuable lesson in what to do, and what NOT to do, in the event of a genuine pandemic.
